Poor kid..I plan on getting tested as well at my next check up..I had a hysterectomy in Jan ..depression alternate between constipation andddiarrhea...sluggish.brain fog ect .sincerity tends to run in families. Or just stay gluten-free and see if that works. His tummy still hurts up high and hope that goes away .. -
